About Portland, Oregon
The North American headquarters for Iberdrola Renewables, Inc. is in Portland, a mid-sized urban enclave at the confluence of two rivers (the Columbia and Willamette), ringed by foothills and snow-capped mountains.
The city is given to Left Coast politics. Eclectic is a frequent descriptor. Portlanders live a "green" lifestyle and are proud of it. A perennial pioneer, Oregon introduced the nation's first bottle bill in 1971. Efforts to recycle, reuse and reduce didn't stop there, either. Portlanders recycle more than half of their waste. More than 5,000 workers commute on bikes daily, and many more take advantage of light rail or buses and a downtown "fareless square" zone where travelers can ride for free.
A smorgasbord of industries pepper the area, with high tech, health care, insurance, energy and sportswear long since overtaking the old-line natural resource economy. Renewable industries, too, are well represented here. In addition to us, turbine manufacturers; industry-focused environmental, engineering and legal consultants; and wind-related construction companies all have facilities here. A Germany's solar company is investing nearly $400 million in a solar-cell and wafer plant in a neighboring community, and various bio-fuels concerns have expressed interest in locating here as well.
Portland lives up to its popular reputation for rainy yet mild winters, and dry but not overly warm or humid summers. Great freeway access and one of the most advanced transit systems in the country make it easy to get around, as does an extensive network of urban bike trails. A couple hours drive-depending on which direction you choose-takes you to ski slopes, high desert or the Pacific Ocean.
Sports of all stripes-for spectators and participants-abound. As do world-class microbreweries and wineries and omnipresent coffee houses serving up megawatts of espresso. A robust live-music scene and dozens of visual arts venues-many of which participate in monthly open gallery nights-add to the cultural vibe. So do public gardens and miles of urban hiking trails. And lots of bookstores and libraries.

About Klamath Falls, Oregon
Proudly declaring itself the "City of Sunshine," Klamath Falls (pop. 19,000) is a working class town born of farming, fishing and timber among the wetlands and woodlands of the Klamath Basin.
The basin is home to seven National Wildlife Refuges and stopover for millions of migrating birds navigating the Pacific Flyway. Small wonder the city seal for Klamath Falls includes the outstretched wings of a pelican. Spectacular Crater Lake National Park is only an hour's drive, as is all manner of hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing and biking. For its size, Klamath Falls itself hosts a respectable assortment of museums, antique shops and galleries.
Construction of our Klamath Cogeneration was a huge milestone for the community. Every nuance of this "hometown power plant" was openly shared when the City of Klamath Falls used to own this facility.

About Houston, Texas
Houston is about as Texas as Texas gets. Iberdrola Renewables, Inc. and its ENSTOR gas storage business leverage this longhorn location both for its role as a traditional petroleum industry hub and for Texas' newer status as the No. 1 wind energy generating state in the union.
Cowboys of all stripes—pioneering heart-transplant surgeons, petroleum lords, and space cowboys that literally shoot for the moon—call the nation's fourth-largest city (pop. 2 million) home. Spring and fall yield enviable top-down weather. Summer is hot and humid in the extreme should you somehow slip outside the protective and omnipresent veil of air conditioning. Home to Mission Control at the NASA Space Center, Houston was the first to hear when the Eagle landed on the Moon. This east Texas titan also is a proven leader in the medical world, particularly for heart transplants and cancer treatment.

About Radnor, Pennsylvania
Iberdrola Renewables, Inc.’s principal east coast office is on the historic Main Line of western Philadelphia suburbs. The area is rich in history and topographical diversity, from the steep cliffs along the Schuylkill River to the beautiful meadows of Valley Forge National Historical Park. A short drive or train ride takes you into the heart of Philadelphia, a world class city that gave birth to American independence and offers plenty of modern cultural touches.
In April of 2008, Radnor Township was voted by Fortune Small Business Magazine as the 37th best place in the country to live and start a business. According to the magazine, the criteria used to develop its Top 100 list were "economic conditions such as local tax rates alongside natural beauty - and easy access to museums, hungry gamefish, and more." In its announcement, Fortune wrote, "Radnor and the clutch of small towns around it offer families a top-rated school system and acres of green space, including walking trails...world-class arts, culture, and dining (which) are just 15 miles west of Philadelphia." Radnor Township is the only Pennsylvania community nominated to Fortune's top 50. Radnor's mid-Atlantic location provides access to skiing and beaches, authentic Philly cheese steaks and Maryland crab cakes, beautiful mountain hikes and historic river towns, as well as Amish farms and New York City.
Philadelphia, the nation's sixth largest city, is well known for its history as the home of the Liberty Bell, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, where Betsy Ross made the first American flag and Ben Franklin's home. Philadelphia also features more than 150 museums, over 125 live music venues and nearly 100 theater companies that offer an extensive line-up of cultural exhibits and performances, as well as the nation's largest nonprofit car sharing program. In addition to major sports teams and Fairmount Park, a 9,200 acre city park that is home to America's first zoo, Philadelphia has produced more than 2,700 murals, more murals than any other city in the world.
